AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the attitudes of 222 third-year nursing students in Turkey toward caring for dying patients.
- Students who had prior experience caring for terminally ill patients had higher scores on the Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD), while those who identified as nonbelievers scored lower.
- The findings suggest that nursing students' attitudes are at a moderate level, indicating a need for better training in end-of-life care during their education.
Article Abstract
Purpose: This study was descriptively conducted to explore attitudes of nursing students related to caring for dying patients in central Anatolia.
Methods: The study was completed with 222 third-year students of nursing school originating from three universities in Turkey.
Result: It was explored that Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD) scores of the students who had previously cared for terminal patients at the clinics were significantly higher, and the scores of those who regarded themselves as nonbeliever in terms of religion were significantly lower (p < .05).
Conclusion: It was seen that nursing students' FATCOD scores were at a moderate level.
Implications For Nursing Practice: We are of the opinion that it will be helpful that nursing students should be trained about the care for dying patients during their formal education.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are implanted in increasing numbers of patients with the aim of treating ventricular arrhythmias in high-risk patients and reducing their risk of dying. Individuals are also living longer with these devices. As a result, a greater number of patients with an ICD will deteriorate either with worsening cardiac failure, another non-cardiac condition or general frailty and will have a limited prognosis.
